Five recommended camera features for your Samsung Galaxy

1) Different camera modes

Most mobile devices only have standard photo and video modes, such as Portrait, Video, Photo, and Panoramic.

Samsung Galaxy phones come with extra camera settings like director's view, AR Zone, single take, nightography, food mode, etc, that let you take creative pictures per your requirements. Additionally, pro modes are available where you can manually adjust the lighting.

Use these steps to access and use these modes:

1. On your phone, launch the Samsung Camera app.
2. To access the last mode, swipe left on the options at the bottom. To view the available modes, tap More. Select the mode you need by tapping it.

2) Scene Optimizer

You can use the Scene Optimizer feature if you want your photos to look amazing without adjusting the settings for every shot. When turned on, the camera settings are automatically optimized to produce stunning images. For example, dark scenes will appear brighter.

Follow these steps to activate Scene Optimizer:

1. Choose the Photos mode located at the bottom of the Samsung Camera app. Next, press the Settings icon located at the top.
2. Toggle on the Scene Optimizer toggle.

3) Use last used settings while opening the camera app

It's interesting to note that when you open the Camera app on a Samsung Galaxy phone, you can save the settings you last used.

The Camera app can recall the most recently used mode and open it instead of the default mode. In a similar vein, it is capable of recalling the portrait zoom, filters, and selfie angle.

Follow these steps to recall a previous camera mode:

1. Go to Settings in the Samsung Camera app.
2. Select "Settings" to preserve.

4) Use Single Take mode

The Single Take mode is one of the most intriguing camera features in the Samsung Galaxy Camera app. Essentially, this mode allows you to concentrate on the present rather than taking a tonne of pictures by capturing multiple images and videos simultaneously.

If you capture a moment using a single take, you can get different versions of the photo, 2-3 short videos, and gifs. Then, choose which to accept and discard from the generated media.

Swipe left on the available modes at the bottom of the Samsung Camera app, then tap More. Pick the Single Take option.

5) Save space by saving images in different formats

These days, phones with high-resolution cameras can take relatively large photos, creating a crunch in your memory. The majority of modern phones, including Samsung Galaxy phones, allow you to snap images in High-efficiency image format (HEIF) if you don't want to sacrifice image quality. Compared to JPG, this format takes much smaller-sized pictures, saving space. There won't be any discernible difference in the photo or video quality.

The only downside is that not all apps are compatible with this format.

1. Select Advanced Picture Options from the Samsung Camera Settings menu.
2. Turn on the High Efficiency Picture toggle.
3. Similarly, activate High-efficiency videos under Advanced video options.
